I do both and see no differences between the two... The reason I feed outside the enclosure is 1.I get great feeding responses from my snakes the second they get in the feeding tub. Theres no if, ands, or buts about it when they get in there they are ready to eat! 2. It gives me time to clean their cages and what not. I can vouch that it is quite time consuming to take each snake out to feed them but I do 2 at a time so its usually 2hrs every thursday to feed. Other people have stated their concerns for why they choose not to feed in a separate enclosure but speaking from experience I have to say they are about as true as the feeding your snake in its tub myth. I live and die by the phrase if it aint broke dont try to fix it so as long as I feed FT I will continue to feed in a separate feeding tub... Come this winter when I get my own place and start breeding my own rats Ill probably just feed inside their enclosures.
In the end its all what works for you and your snake. Its more important that your snake eats not where it eats.
